Chapter 289: People Are Not Plants
"Master Hou. K1 glanced at the expressionless familiar face from the rearview mirror, "Yu Yiji, that little cub is not a good thing, can it be useful to let Jiang Ruli accompany him?"
"Of course it works, as long as I get Far Island Hearts to him by 12 o'clock tonight. Wan Guohou said with a smile, "Z2, this matter will be left to you." There's still a few hours left, and you're going to have it done. ”
Z2's hand, which was rapidly wiping the facial mask, suddenly froze, "Master Hou, what are you talking about?"
"A game that only released on March 25th. Wan Guohou said, paused, and then added, "It doesn't matter how much it costs, I don't care what means you use." Is there anything else I would like me to explain to you?"
"No...... Without. Z2 wore half of his face with residual makeup, and his face was stunned. "Master Hou is really in a bad mood. He thought to himself, "Who offended him? It can't be Yu Jingbo's idiot, right?"
There was silence in the carriage.
"Yu Yichuan is very smart, and he even asked me to crack his computer password with my bare hands. Wan Guohou suddenly chuckled softly, "It's just that he wouldn't have thought that it wouldn't take C4 half a minute to crack his password." ”
"But if C4 cracks the password, it can only be transmitted to your phone. K1 asked, surprised.
"You forgot this thing in my hair. Wan Guohou said lightly, "Although this is only an emergency." ”
"That's right. K1 suddenly realized, and laughed twice in embarrassment, "Your hair tie can receive Morse code!"
"Master Hou, this is an independent game studio in Finland. Z2 stared at his phone and said, "Is it going to let C4 hack their server, or is it ...... Buy this studio?"
"Which is faster, which one to use. Wan Guohou took out his mobile phone, lit up the screen, and said absentmindedly. There was a message on the phone screen that he found glaring, from C4.
When Wan Guohou asked K1 to turn around and drive back, Nan Zeyu just arrived at his doorstep. He was tracking Pennington outside, and he was covered with injuries all over his body, but during the long day and night without home, Tao Baihe only called him to tell him that relatives from his hometown were coming to receive him, and asked him to go home early to accompany his daughter.
Nan Zeyu sat in the car and fell into deep thought—this was the Volvo Kirihara had found for him, and his Mercedes-Benz had been sent to the factory for repair. He didn't feel much distressed about losing a car, but he was eager to find two small things in the car - the seat belt buckle that Pennington had prepared.
I don't know why, Nan Zeyu intuitively felt that Pennington didn't want to really hurt him, otherwise, with that old guy's skills, it would not be difficult to make him suffer a little. But when he carefully recalled the thrilling chase and the awkward halfway confrontation, he found that apart from his verbal sarcasm, Pennington did not display the lethality of the legendary "Asura". The person who can kill such a delicate and stunning beauty as Yue Shuluo shows great patience and tolerance to him, the eldest son of the unkind society, which makes him feel very confused.
Memories of falling into the water gradually came back to his mind: although he was hit on the head, he didn't suffocate for as long as he thought. The bridge was not high, and the car sank with a firm speed. His mind was dizzy, and he only vaguely remembered Pennington quickly pulling out the headrest of his chair and smashing open the glass window.
In the magic capital in late February, the river was as cold as a knife, cutting Nan Zeyu's limbs, and he was stiffly dragged forward by Pennington. He wanted to tell Pennington to hurry up or he would freeze to death, but the river poured into his mouth so much that he couldn't say a word.
What happened next, as hazy as the fog on the water. Nan Zeyu vaguely remembered that he was dragged ashore by Pennington. As soon as he reached the shore, Pennington threw himself at him with a fist. He soon felt a sharp pain coming from his abdomen and thought he was going to die this time, however, a stream of heat quickly burst through his throat, causing him to vomit violently.
Nan Zeyu lay in front of his vomit, embarrassed. In the intense vertigo, he faintly heard the roars and gunshots coming from a distance, and then Pennington threw down a sentence, "Don't look for me again, wait for me to come to you." ”
Apparently, the gunshot wound affected Pennington's mobility. Fortunately, this preserved Nan Zeyu's dignity.
But why did Kirihara lie? Was he making his own decisions? Or was it the orders of Kujo Harukomi?
Thinking of this, Nan Zeyu took out a lighter and lit a cigarette. He pressed the window of his car and squinted at the small, brightly lit building in the middle of the courtyard not far away. The cigarette made him relax, but it also made him more trance-like, and his thoughts were like dead leaves gone with the wind in the depths of winter.
"How many years has this been going on?" Nan Zeyu spat out a smoke ring and leaned back on the seat casually. Maybe it's been five years, maybe longer. Every time he gets home, he doesn't rush to get out of the car, but smokes a cigarette first - accompanied by listening to songs, playing with his mobile phone, or simply in a daze.
The Tao family was never his home.
Compared with his wife and father-in-law, Mrs. Kuo, who has bright makeup, and a gem merchant whose eyes are close to blindness but still scheming, this description makes Nan Zeyu feel more accurate. He moves day and night among all kinds of people, including families. Acting, has become instinctive.
Except for Minami Zejiao. Thinking of her daughter's bulging apple face, Nan Zeyu's face softened a little. Nan Zejiao is probably the best gift he has received since he came to China in 2002. He didn't think he was the perfect husband, but he was dedicated enough to be a father. "When it's over, I can take Jiaojiao back to RB, or if she likes China, I can stay with her until she is an adult. Nan Zeyu took another puff of cigarette and thought comfortably. "Perhaps, I can still meet a woman like the moon soak. Thinking of this, Nan Zeyu extinguished the smoke.
A few minutes later, Nan Zeyu packed up his things and walked to the house. He heard faint laughter from a distance, which made him a little surprised: Nan Zejiao has been sick since she returned to China, and her spirit is not too good, chatting with Tong's mother, can she talk so happily?
"You're back. It was the smiling and smiling Moon Shuluo who came up, and the tenderness contained in her eyes almost stunned Nan Zeyu. For a moment, he had the illusion that this woman was his wife, waiting for her husband to come home. His heart churned with great waves—not because of the woman's beauty, not because he had just thought of Yiren in front of him, but because of the indescribable thoughtfulness and well-behaved nature of this woman. Such a woman never seems to doubt him, never leave him, and this is probably what a man wants most in his heart - respect outside and a smile when he comes home.
"Dad!Sister Shuluo and Brother Crazy Heart have come to see me!" Nan Zejiao trotted to Nan Zeyu and hugged Nan Zeyu's waist, "Sister Shuluo has brought her to make desserts!" Her little round face was a little red with excitement, "Dad, come quickly!" She pulled Nan Zeyu and was about to walk to the restaurant. "We just started dinner, Dad, it's really time for you to come back!"
Nan Zeyu was very surprised, this was the first time he saw his daughter so unrestrained in front of him after Tao couldn't die, as if the haze of the past had disappeared.
"Jiaojiao, let your dad rest first, he must be very tired after a long day of work. Rest for a while, you can't delay eating. Yue Shuluo said, beckoning to Tong's mother, who hurriedly stepped forward to take Nan Zeyu's handbag and coat. Xie Qiangxin stood aside and also greeted politely.
"I'm really sorry, I have to work hard for you and Xiao Xie so late. Nan Zeyu pressed the frenzy in his heart and said as politely as possible, "I'll call Bai He back immediately." ”
Yue Shuluo smiled, "Director Nan doesn't need to see the outside like this, Crazy Heart and I also came over to see Jiaojiao by the way." Mrs. Nan has something to do, so don't bother her. ”
She spoke softly, a little detached, like the shallow scent of Ruixiang flowers lingering on her body. Nan Zeyu has always had a tough personality, but he didn't know how to answer at the moment, he instinctively wanted to keep Yue Shuluo, but he didn't want the other party to feel that he was overly enthusiastic.
As if seeing Nan Zeyu's hesitation and embarrassment, Yue Shuluo covered her lips and smiled, "Director Nan, I heard Jiaojiao say that you went out yesterday, and you were busy for a day and a night?"
"Sit. Nan Zeyu saw Nan Ze Jiao chirping and pulling Xie Crazy Heart to the restaurant, and suddenly felt a wonderful relief in his heart: no one disturbed, he could play freely in front of Yue Shuluo. "Yes, these two days have been too busy. How did you come up with the idea of coming to see Jiaojiao?"
"I heard from Crazy Heart, Jiaojiao is not feeling well these days?" Yue Shuluo slowly sat down on a round camel-colored single sofa. She leaned back a little, and her legs were not parallel to each other, as usual, but stilted, and the calves without stockings were as delicate as if they were carved from white jade. Such a posture invisibly gives birth to a kind of enchanting and charming, just like the evening primrose blooming slowly in the dark night, silent and beautiful to make people tremble.
Nan Zeyu sat down across from her. He habitually touched the cigarette case, then thought about it, and held back. He placed his bony hand on the couch cushion, as if to restrain something. "Yes, maybe there was a little cold on this trip abroad, and my father-in-law's affairs also made her very sad, which affected her somewhat. But it's a little better now. Nan Zeyu stared at Yue Shuluo, a little puzzled why she came to visit with Xie Madxin, because in his impression, Yue Shuluo stayed by Wan Guohou's side most of the time.
"How is Master Hou?" he finally greeted, though he wasn't too interested in the answer to his question.
"Secretary Tonan's blessing, it's not bad. Yue Shuluo smiled and said, "I came to disturb me rashly, I didn't know that Mrs. Nan was not there, and I caused you trouble." She said it seriously, but she was a little careless, and the sweet smile did not reach her eyes. Fortunately, at the moment of beauty, Nan Ze Yuxin did not find it.
"Moon...... You're always welcome here, Sir...... Guys. Nan Zeyu forced himself to concentrate and tried not to look at the woman's legs. "Damn, I haven't touched Bai He since Tao couldn't die, it must have been suffocated these days. Thinking about it this way, he was a little more dissatisfied with his marriage.
Yue Shuluo didn't speak, but looked at Nan Zeyu without blinking. For a moment, both fell silent. "Don't have gloom and hatred, silence is better than sound at this time. Nan Zeyu remembered the Tang poem that her daughter recited at home a while ago, and unconsciously grew a slender aquatic plant in her heart, rippling slightly in the already unpeaceful heart lake.
"Dad!Sister Shuluo!, come and eat!" Nan Zejiao's voice came from afar, breaking the embarrassment between the two.
"Mr. Yue?" Nan Zeyu stood up and made a "please" gesture.
"Then you're welcome. Yue Shuluo smiled and stood up, "It's not a secret, in fact, a few minutes before the head of the South Hall came back, I was about to leave. But Crazy Heart was reluctant to be beautiful, so he chatted for a few more minutes, and then met you back. I figured if I were to leave like this, it would feel like I was avoiding you. She walked over to the table and chuckled, "That would be weird." ”
Nan Zeyu pulled out a chair for her, "I will definitely leave you behind." ”
Yue Shuluo glanced at the sumptuous dishes on the rectangular table: drunken chicken, smoked fish, lettuce with pepper oil, jade morel mushrooms, pickled tuxian, braised lion's head...... There are both home-cooked dishes and banquet dishes. She smiled slightly, "Director Nan, your family's cooking skills are really good, maybe I should suggest to Hou Ye another day and borrow it from you." ”
"Dad, hurry up, we'll wait for you to eat, I'm hungry." Nan Zejiao said coquettishly, "I'm so hungry that I sing." ”
"I didn't hear it, can you sing it again?" Nan Zeyu said deliberately jokingly, "Is it a coin-operated jukebox, I'll go find a few coins?"
"Dad!" Nanzawa pouted, "I'm hungry." ”
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to tease you. He waved his hand and motioned for Tong's mother to pour wine for Yue Shuluo and Xie Madxin, who were sitting opposite him. "Xiao Xie, will I call you a substitute driver later?"
"I'm not very good at drinking. Xie Madxin hurriedly excused himself and said, "Director Nan, you can drink with Manager Yue, she has a good amount of alcohol." ”
Yue Shuluo smiled, "Director Nan came home so late, he must be very tired, so don't drink." ”
"I'm not tired, I'm just afraid that Master Hou will blame me for pouring you wine. Nan Zeyu narrowed his eyes, as if smiling.
"Director Nan is a friend of Hou Ye, and it makes sense to have a glass of wine. Yue Shuluo put down her chopsticks and said calmly, "Besides, the director of the South Hall has Yaxing who is drinking, how can I not accompany him?"
Nan Zeyu raised his glass, "Manager Yue and Xiao Xie came to visit the cold house, Jiaojiao's health has improved, this is a good thing, it is worth celebrating." He asked Tong's mother to take white wine, not the red wine he usually drank. Nan Zejiao noticed this detail, and she stared at her father for several seconds, then quietly looked away.
"The South Hall Director is polite. Yue Shuluo picked up the wine glass and smiled indifferently. After Nan Zeyu drank it all, she lit up the bottom of the cup.
"Sure enough, it's a good amount of alcohol. Nan Zeyu was surprised, "Mr. Yue practiced it in Mr. Gao's shop?"
